That's because AppleScript doesn't load ID's dictionary at runtime. When you
do it in an editor, the editor translates back and forth between the raw
codes and the terminology you use to write scripts, but that doen't happen
with a compiled app.

It should. Try this:

set theStatus to status of link x -- so you only get it once
if theStatus = normal then
set thestatus to "normal"
else if...
